Flocks of Jackdaw are scattered across Shetland Just now, with a few distinctive 'Nordic' birds showing the pale half-collar. #YellBirding #Shetland

Savannah Sparrow, Greater Sandplover, Eyebrowed Thrush and 'Northern' Long-tailed Tit.

Just a few of the amazing birds I've been lucky enough to see in Shetland over the last 12 months. Personal highlight being the Savannah Sparrow. (Just don't mention American flycatchers!😉) #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUk

Great Shearwater photo bombing a Bonxie earlier this year off Shetland. Posted for #SuperSeabirdSunday #YellBirding #Shetland

Brilliant views of Little Auk today in Scalloway. Nice to see one that looks so healthy. Bird was feeding/preening/diving all within feet of me off the pier. 😎👍 #YellBirding #Shetland

Beautiful female King Eider in Scalloway giving outrageous views this morning. 😍 #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK

A few pics of the more accommodating birds seen in the past week..... #YellBirding #Shetland

A rather late Yellow-browed Warbler in my garden today. #YellBirding #Shetland

Scandinavian style Jackdaws in Burravoe today. The pale half collar hinting at a possibly 'Eastern' origin. #YellBirding #Shetland

Absolute beast of a female Northern Bullfinch this morning in Lerwick. #YellBirding #Shetland

Well chuffed to add this to the 'self-found' list today..... Unfortunately, this bird has lost its tail, but this somehow just seems to add to its charm! #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK

3 Northern Long-tailed Tits showing well on Yell today. Got a feeling there may be a few decent photos of these birds appearing, as they're very accommodating! 😎👍 #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK #Birdguides

White headed 'Northern' Long-tailed Tit in Yell. One of three birds seen.

💥'Northern' Long-tailed Tit💥... 3 of these stunning birds seen in fading light this evening in West Yell. Cheers to Adrian for spreading the word!...... Genuinely one of my most wanted birds since I first picked up the original Collins Guide! 😍😎👍 #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK

Beautiful Blackpoll Warbler all to myself this morning on Unst. #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK

A few migrants spread around South Yell today...... Best of all though was a YB Warbler in my garden, which was both the very first bird and the very last bird I saw today! #YellBirding #Shetland

GS Woodpecker being very elusive on my patch today. Been here for three days now, but only the second time I've had a glimpse of it! 😳 #YellBirding #Shetland

Decent patch round today, with Tundra Bean, 2 Yellow-browed, Pied Fly, Lesser Whitethroat, and Sibe Chiff. Gotta be something tasty from the west hiding out there somewhere though 🤔 .... #YellBirding #Shetland

Not great weather conditions for photography, but I'm just glad to see and 'Shetland tick' the long staying (but well ranging!) Red Kite this morning. ✔️😎👍 #YellBirding #Shetland

'abietinus' Chiffchaff taken shortly before storm Amy struck Shetland...... #YellBirding #Shetland

Short-toed Lark on Yell this morning. #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK

Can't ever resist a showy Yellow-browed Warbler (It's the same with Waxwing too). Always gotta get just one more photo! 😉👍 #YellBirding #Shetland

The Short-toed Lark on Yell showed rather well this morning. #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK

This flighty Short-toed Lark was a rather nice addition to my Yell list. Found by @rogerriddington.bsky.social 😎👍 #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUK

The long staying 2cy Little Gull still hanging out with the Kittiwake flock at Ulsta, Yell. #YellBirding #Shetland

Great Shearwater off Shetland last weekend. (Rare to get views like this in Scotland!) #YellBirding #Shetland #SuperSeabirdSunday

Sooty Shearwater showing well yesterday off Shetland. Posted for #SuperSeabirdSunday.... #YellBirding #Shetland

Another amazing Yell based pelagic trip today, with breathtaking views of Great Shearwater, Wilson's Petrel, Sooty Shearwater, Blue Fulmar...... Great birds enjoyed in great company 👍 #YellBirding #RareBirdsUK #Shetland

2 Wilson's Petrel scored from a Yell based pelagic trip today. Great trip with good company. Superbly organised by Matt Willmott and Will Miles. #YellBirding #RareBirdsUK #Shetland
